Hey guys, im learning to play the guitar and the problem is i dont have my own guitar. The one i use to practice is my dads guitar which is a classical guitar. My budget is about rm 800 .. Prefer a solid top acoustic guitar.. Please recommend me some good guitar..

Guitars in consideration :
washburn d10s

Hi, I play the acoustic guitar, I honestly recommend u the L. Luthier brand (Malaysian made).
I don't sell guitars but I've had a couple of guitars including a Taylor Big Baby (which costed something around 1.7k)

Then i needed an acoustic with a pick-up for church playing.
Ended up with a GANEQ33 by L.Luthier solid spruce top with a fishman pre-sys pick up system.
Really good guitar, awesome sound, good build quality for such a good price... I got mine for RM950 + gig bag.

To be honest my L.Luthier sounds richer and more expensive than my Taylors'.

Just my 2 cents. Buy a branded guitar just because... then start getting those no namers - the higher end ones..
so you can really compare

Can consider:
1) Farida D-10 RM8XX
2) Cort Earth Series from RM7XX
3) Custom Acoustic FG75 RM6XX
4) Custom Acoustic FG70 RM5XX

Cheers and happy shopping.........

there's a takamine d-series model in that price range. sounded pretty good too. google it or something.

Thanks for all the suggestion

I agree, I tried farida, cort and custom. Non of them sound as good as l.luthier. i tried GA33EQ too but I myself prefer GA25 instead. It has more low whereas GA33EQ are brighter with lesser bass.

Any more recommendations?? And what shop can i go to test alot of guitars? I heard Bentley is very nice...

bentley no longer carry Takamine, for takamine u need to go Guitar Collection

The Guitar store carry takamine?

No,they can order for u but u wont be able to test since they dun have ready stock

bro... try out Washburn WD10S

you sell? how much?

+1 to l.luthier
owns a pre-l.luthier guitar (now should be l.luthier bayou), as the boss was my guitar instructor before he bring up this brand..
sound really good and im planning to get a eden2 from him ;D

Where can I buy this luthier? Can give shop name and direction because um not from KL

pm hey_there .. he/she has a shop near damansara selling luthier...

thanks....

already pm. Thanks

already reply. thank u too....

Lets Music Sdn Bhd
20-3, Platinum Walk,
Jalan Langkawi, Setapak,
53300 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

or u can check on amplitude music in subang.. not sure about the address tho

Have you tried Puchong ICONS MUSIC? They carried L.Luthier guitar. My L.Luthier GA20W bought from there

agree on the l.luthier and takamine d-series

tanglewood is not too bad either.

i saw there is new luthier shop in ss2... but don't know open yet or not..

Yes, there is. But it's based on appointment only

really.. i wonder why like that..

summore when the shop close, they just lock the door. stuff inside is clearly visible. quite risky..
